You'd Think They'd Get It Right!

I received a letter today, from a member of the National Association of Memorial Masons.

'Dear Mrs Tilly,
We recently removed the memorial stone of the above, to allow for another internment in the grave, and currently hold the memorial in storage.............'

I rang them!

[murraymints]

EEK !

[Tilly2]

Exactly, Minty!

[pastafreak]

Double EEK!!

[tonyav]

What did they say when they knew they were talking to the person to whom the memorial stone is dedicated ?.

[Tilly2]

Eek! Yont. :-)

[tonyav]

LOL.

[Tilly2]

Can I trust these people to carve out an inscription on a new memorial stone?

[Tilly2]

This thread didn't go down too well. ;-)

[jno]

did it say how long they'd be interned? Maybe it's an indefinite stay at Her Majesty's pleasure?

[Tilly2]

All I can say, Jno, is that dad won't be coming out, ever again.

[jno]

I would have thought not ... we've not finished with the First Trump yet, let alone returning for the Last one.

[Baldric]

I think jno is pointing out there are only 2 n's in interment

[Tilly2]

I agree with that, Baldric.

Oh, not more Trumps!

[Tilly2]

When I rang them and pointed out the error, the receptionist/secretary was mortified. :-)

[aelmpvw]

i hope she didn't say they were sorry for the grave error

[Tilly2]

She didn't, Ael. She'd turned to stone.

[Old_Geezer]

So you told them that you hadn't gone yet ?

[Togo]

Oh dear Tills, a monumental mistake. Remember, it's not the cough that carries you off....it's the coffin they carry you off in.

[Tilly2]

I do have a cough, Togo!

Just to clarify. Above the 'Dear Mrs Tilly' was a heading.......My mum's name.
I didn't ring them to let them know I wasn't dead. I rang about the vocabulary.

I wish I hadn't started this. :-(
